Acute total occlusion of the left main coronary artery treated with percutaneous intervention and simultaneous implantation of intra‐aortic balloon pump
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrocardiographic findings at first medical contact and direct transfer to the catheterization laboratory are important in acute total occlusion of the left main coronary artery. Simultaneous emergency angioplasty and intra-aortic balloon pump implantation might be beneficial in overcoming the patient's most critical hemodynamic instability.

Total revascularization for an epsilon right coronary artery and severe left main disease combined with profound cardiogenic shock
RATIONALE Severe left main disease combined with right coronary artery occlusion was rarely encountered in our daily practice. Percutaneous coronary intervention in these patients was most challenging due to high probability of hemodynamic changes. PATIENT CONCERNS Here, we report a 67-year-old man with Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and profound cardiogenic shock and...

A 71-year-old man was referred to our emergency department presenting with acute inferior and right ventricular myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. He developed ventricular fibrillation 80 minutes after arrival. Immediate defibrillation, mechanical ventilatory support with oxygenation, and inotropic agents were instituted. Despite restoration of sinus rhythm, his hypotension persisted...

Percutaneous aortic valvuloplasty is reportedly a useful tool for the management of critical and severe aortic stenosis with cardiogenic shock. However, early percutaneous coronary intervention for cardiogenic shock is beneficial for elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction. We describe a patient with critical aortic stenosis who presented with severe coronary stenosis of the left main...

A 69-year-old man with effort angina was admitted to our institution. Echocardiography showed poor left ventricular systolic function with akinesis of the anterior wall and severe hypokinesis of the inferior wall. We performed coronary angiography, which revealed two diseased vessels including chronic total occlusion in the left anterior descending artery and severe stenosis in the right corona...
متن کاملEmergency coronary stenting of unprotected critical left main coronary artery stenosis in acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock.
In the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiogenic shock in patients with significant unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease, treatment options are limited. In this report of a patient presenting in cardiogenic shock secondary to acute MI with critical LMCA stenosis, percutaneous coronary intervention with intra-aortic balloon pump support proved life saving.
